Wilson Palacios has been released by Stoke City leaving him free to sign with any team.

The Honduras international didn't figure for the Potters this season and Mark Hughes moved to release him rather than pick up the option on a player that probably makes decent wages for a little-used reserve. With Premier League football unlikely for the 2015-16 season, it is possible that Palacios will try to catch on with former boss Steve Bruce as Hull City look to rebound back into the Premier League at the first opportunity. Bruce acquired Palacios at both Birmingham and Wigan when he was managing those clubs. Fri, May 29, 2015 10:21:00 AM

Honduras needed a miracle to escape their group and it did not happen as they were beaten three times by Xherdan Shaqiri to sum up their 0-3 loss.

Even a blowout win by Honduras would not have made a difference as Ecuador would have secured the 2nd seed in the group after their draw with France. It was a frustrating day nonetheless, as they had some legitimate chances but could not finish, including a ball that looked destined to go in but was cleared off the line at the last moment. Wilson Palacios tried to draw a penalty at one point, on a foul that looked no less egregious than the one Greece received to save their tournament, but this referee wasn't convinced.

Honduras are technically still alive in this tournament but it would take a flurry of goals and an Ecuador loss to catch Ecuador on goal difference. Considering how porous the Swiss defense were in their last match it isn't entirely dismissible, but it would be the most shocking development this World Cup has seen yet were it to happen. Stoke's Wilson Palacios slots back in to midfield after serving a one game suspension. Maynor Figueroa and Roger Espinoza are both starting as expected. Wed, Jun 25, 2014 03:05:00 PM

Wilson Palacios is suspended from this crucial match for the Hondurans as they have to view Ecuador as the best side to try and gain points from. Maynor Figueroa once again is in at fullback. Fri, Jun 20, 2014 05:14:00 PM
